ABSTRACT
Objective@#To understand the epidemiologic characteristics of injury among children aged 0-5 years in 2018, and to provide evidence for prevention and control measures of injury in children.@*Methods@#Data of injury in children aged 0-5 years in China in 2018 were collected from National Injury Surveillance System (NISS) for the descriptive epidemiologic analysis.@*Results@#A total of 74 355 injury cases were reported in children aged 0-5 years in 2018, with the gender ratio of 0.66, in which 98.13% were unintentional injuries. The top three causes of injury were falls (56.76%), blunt injuries (9.80%) and animal related injuries (7.81%). Injuries mainly occurred during 17:00—20:59 (32.09%) and 10:00—11:59 (13.95%). The top three places where injuries might occur were home (65.70%), public residence (13.06%), highway/street (10.94%). Recreational activities (64.21%), basic life activities (16.93%) and walking (5.66%) were the main activities when injuries occurred. Of all injury cases, most were mild, while 13.73% of cases were moderate or severe. Head, upper limb and lower limb were main injuries sites, which accounted for 49.44%, 28.59% and 11.70% of all cases respectively.@*Conclusion@#Injury is an important cause for children aged 0-5 years to go to the outpatient/emergency department for treatment, indicating that the prevention of injury in such age group should be strengthened. It is recommended to further improve the data collection on child injury in order to provide more evidence for child injury intervention.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the feasibility of dual microcatheter "cross-regional" embolization technique in treating intracranial irregular aneurysms. Methods The clinical data of 19 patients with intracranial irregular aneurysms, who were treated with "cross-regional" embolization technique at authors' hospital during the period from May 2016 to May 2017, were retrospectively analyzed. The embolization strategy formulation, selection of embolization materials, surgical process and embolization effect were summarized. Results Successful treatment of intracranial irregular aneurysm was accomplished in all the 19 patients. In one patient, during the embolization process of the neck of aneurysm the steel coil was over-protruded into the parent artery, and stent implantation had to be carried out to rescue the therapy, and finally successful treatment was achieved. The technical success rate of "cross-regional" embolization was 95％. Complete embolization was obtained in 15 patients and subtotal embolization in 3 patients. Conclusion For the treatment of some specified intracranial irregular aneurysms, dual microcatheter "cross - regional" embolization technique is technically simple, and it is a safe and effective treatment option.
